Satire and Sci-Fi Response

Without even reading about it, I watched Idiocracy for this theme before class. I think it hit the nail right on the head on where we as a state are coming to in the now near future. The whole thought of having food that's given to you by a machine and in the end gives you nothing, having a toilet as your sitting chair, being completely oblivious to the obvious and so much more is what we have to look forward to in this future of ours. We're getting stupider by the second with little things here and there that come into trend now. I noticed that during the movie there was one thing that they still didn't have that we've been wanting since Back to the Future came out. That one thing was flying vehicles and boards, which is pretty sad considering all this time has gone by and there's absolutely nothing that's happened in terms of technology growth. Technology is what people today have been wanting to improve for a long time now, so it's kind of a thought to look upon. Will we ever create the things we've wanted since the beginning into a reality, and improve our living situations so we don't end up like this movie or will we just continue to drive in a circle and do nothing about it? I truly believe that if we keep up this nonsense we call "improving our living", we're going to be a bunch of idiots just like in Idiocracy.
